Well, I didn't necessarily say I would go second, just that you should go first. I'm sure somebody will eventually go second.

Hey, no-one told you the super special customary greeting yet? We like to have new members say a special little welcome oath, it goes something like "My life to yours, my breath become yours" You go first

Totally innocent cookies that will not harm you at all in anyway whatsoever. In other news you should also try and get people to say the (innocent, and not at all soul-stealing) "My life to yours, my breath become yours" customary greeting. I swear, I've been seeing the world in more vibrant shades ever since I started asking people to repeat that.

Having just re-read this particular scene for the third time just last night, I can tell you it still reads a little awkward, at least for me.

Oh Kaladin x 2

The Nomad is the cutest little guy!

I did feel a certain pang of sadness as I was making it. But I had to push it down, for the greater meme good!

I'm always partial to a good 'STORM IT!' and there's always room in my life for a few 'by the Lord Ruler' exclamations.

Oh Kaladin..

"Strength before Weakness" This is one of my mainstays and I usually repeat it a few times just before a competition. While I am talking of physical strength I'm also speaking to mental fortitude and emotional strength as well. It's very important to me that I have the strength to help others, be that physical strength or otherwise. "I must not fear, fear is the mind-killer" Most will recognize this particular litany from the works of Frank Herbert and not Brandon Sanderson. Nevertheless, this is one that gets me through most of my days. The Bene Gesserit litany against fear helps me to realize that what I'm really afraid of is fear itself, fear kills the mind and takes over rational thinking. The litany calls it 'the little death that brings about total obliteration'. You must master your fear otherwise it will master you.

Granted, however you can only get your usuable allomantic metals from expensive items bought from an antique shop. Any others you burn will just make you sick. I wish for the greatest physical strength.

So we all know that one of the main things that Brandon is known for throughout the industry is his genius and incredibly in-depth systems of magic. Everything from Feruchemy, to Surgebinding, Allomancy and even the Shardblades (not really a system so to speak...I mean they kind of are..). My question for my fellow Sharders is what one is your favorite? It doesn't have to be the most in-depth and complicated one but rather the one that gives you the most joy to read about. For myself it's got to be Allomancy, something about the constant manipulation of the steelpushing and ironpulling to maintain a sort of flight is very appealing to me.

Imagine us as Kaladin and the spambots are the endless Parshendi army. It makes reporting spam far more rewarding when I feel like I am surgebinding them into oblivion.
